Re-post from last Friday re: the Rangers' division championship
Houston gave us our top-of-the-order, CF as a Rule 5 draft pick.

Our closer was a waiver wire pickup from the Dodgers (only behind Melancon from Pittsburgh in Shutdowns minus Meltdowns)

Our division rival paid us millions of dollars to take their LF off their hands

Our 2B was sent down to the minors in May for sucking too much

Our RF and 1B moves from last year were total busts

Our SS was an overpaid Scott Boras client that went bust too

We lost Darvish to TJ surgery before Day One

We lost our #2 starter after one inning in his first start for most of the year

Our #3 (since traded to get Hamels) and our #4 starters missed the first half of the season with injuries from last year

Our #5 starter is pitching after an injury that NOBODY has ever come back from

Houston decided NOT to hire Jeff Banister and Hamels vetoed a trade to Houston who offered a better package to the Phillies.

Baseball.

In 2016, we get Darvish back and LAA gets another year older and more overpaid with the 3rd-worst farm system in baseball (according to Baseball Prospectus).
